the slot ID by selecting the object and clicking the Information tab. |
State | Displays the status of the controller. Possible
values are: - Ready — The controller is functioning
normally.
- Degraded — The controller
has encountered a failure and is operating in a degraded state.
- Failed — The controller has
encountered a failure and is no longer functioning.
|
Firmware Version | Displays the version of the firmware that is installed
on the controller. NOTE: Storage Management displays Not Applicable on some controllers for which the firmware version cannot be obtained. |
Minimum Required Firmware Version | Displays the minimum firmware version that is required
by Storage Management. This property is displayed only if the controller
firmware does not meet the minimum requirement. |
Driver Version | Displays the version of the driver that is installed
on the controller. NOTE: Storage Management displays Not Applicable on some controllers for which the driver version cannot be obtained. |
Minimum Required Driver Version | Displays the minimum driver version that is required
by Storage Management. This property is displayed only if the controller
driver does not meet the minimum requirement. |
Number of Connectors | Displays the number of connectors on the controller.
Each connector can be attached to physical disks or an enclosure.
Depending on the controller type, the connector can be either a SCSI
channel or a SAS port. |
Rebuild Rate | Rebuild rate is the percentage of resources available
on a system dedicated to rebuild a failed disk when necessary. For
more information on rebuild rate, see Setting The Rebuild
Rate. NOTE: The value for the Revertible Hot Spare operation
is the same as the value set for the Rebuild Rate property. |
BGI Rate | The background initialization (BGI) rate is the
percentage of resources available on a system dedicated to perform
the background initialization of a virtual disk after it is created.
For more information on BGI rate, see Setting Background
Initialization Rate. |
Check Consistency Rate | The check consistency rate is the percentage of
resources available on a system dedicated to perform check consistency
on a redundant virtual disk. For more information, see Performing
A Check Consistency. |
Reconstruct Rate | The reconstruct rate is the percentage of resources
available on a system dedicated to reconstruct a disk group after
adding a physical disk or changing the RAID level of a virtual disk
residing on the disk group. For more information on reconstruct rate,
see Setting The Reconstruct Rate. |
Abort Check Consistency on Error | Enables you to stop the Check Consistency operation on error. This property is available only on controllers
that have controller firmware version 6.1 and later. |
Allow Revertible Hot Spare and Replace
Member | Enables the automatic copying of data from a physical
disk to a hot spare (in case of predictive failure) or from a hot
spare to a physical disk (in case of replacement of a degraded disk).
For more information, see Enabling Revertible
Hot Spare. |
Load Balance | Provides the ability to automatically use both
controller ports or connectors connected to the same enclosure to
route I/O requests. This property is available only on SAS controllers
that have controller firmware version 6.1 and later. |
Auto Replace Member on Predictive Failure | Enables the automatic copying of data from a physical
disk to a hot spare in case of predictive failure. Use this property
in conjunction with the Allow Revertible Hot Spare and Replace Member
property. |
Redundant path view | Indicates whether Storage Management has detected
a redundant path configuration. Storage Management detects a redundant
path configuration when both controller ports are connected to the
same enclosure that is in a unified mode. For more information, see Setting
The Redundant Path Configuration. |
Encryption Capable | Indicates whether the controller has the capability
to support encryption. Possible values are Yes and No. |
Encryption Key Present | Indicates whether the controller has an encryption
key established. Possible values are Yes and No. |
Encryption Mode | Indicates whether the controller is using Local Key Management (LKM) or None. For more information, see Managing The Encryption
Key. |
T10 Protection Information Capability | Indicates whether the controller supports data
integrity. Possible values are Yes and No. |
Cache Memory Size | Displays the size of the cache memory on the controller. |
Patrol Read Mode | Displays the Patrol Read Mode setting for the controller. Possible values are: - Auto — Patrol read runs continuously
on the system. When one iteration of the patrol read is complete,
the next patrol read is scheduled to start within a period of time
specified by the controller. You do not have the option of manually
starting or stopping the Patrol Read in this mode.
- Manual — Allows you to manually
start or stop the patrol read process.
- Disabled — Indicates that
the patrol read process is disabled.
For more information about patrol read, see Setting The Patrol
Read Mode and Starting And Stopping
Patrol Read. |
Patrol Read State | Displays the current state of the patrol read
process. Possible values are:- Ready — The patrol read process
is enabled and runs when next scheduled or when manually initiated.
- Active — The patrol read process
is running.
- Stopped — The patrol read has
been stopped.
For more information about patrol read, see Setting The Patrol
Read Mode. |
Patrol Read Rate | Displays the percentage of system resources dedicated
for running the Patrol Read operation. Patrol Read Rate changes the amount of system resources
assigned for the patrol read task. The Patrol Read Rate can be configured between 0% and 100%, where:- 0% — indicates the lowest priority for controllers
and has the least impact on the system performance.
- 100% — indicates the highest priority for controllers
and has a greater impact on the system performance.
|
Patrol Read Iterations | Displays the number of Patrol Read Iterations. For more information about patrol read, see Setting The Patrol
Read Mode. |
Cluster Mode | Indicates whether the controller is part of a
cluster configuration. |
Persistent Hot Spare | Displays if the hot spare is persistent. The possible
values are:- Enabled — The slot corresponding
to the hot spare drive is persistent. Any drive in the slot functions
as a hot spare if the drive is qualified to be a hot spare. If the
drive contains foreign data, it is overwritten.
- Disabled — The slot corresponding
to the hot spare drive is not persistent. If the drive is removed
from the slot and any drive is inserted, the slot stops functioning
as a hot spare. You need to manually assign the drive as a hot spare
again.
|
Controller Tasks | Enables you to configure and manage the controller.
For more information about controller tasks, see Controller Tasks. |
Available Reports | Enables you to view patrol read report, check
consistency report, slot occupancy report, and physical disk firmware
version report. For more information on available reports, see Available
Reports. |
Current Controller Mode | Displays the mode of the hardware controller that
